<announcement>
**Introducing a new procedure**
We are looking for a better way to compile and keep track of responses
to the proposals being submitted for review.

The links listed under agenda items 3-5  will take you to forms where
you can register your responses to the details of the proposal.  For
each guideline or  success criterion proposed , the form will present
the proposed wording followed by two radio buttons and a textarea.  

The first radio button is labled "Proposed wording is better than
current wording." The second radio button is labeled "Current wording is
better than proposed wording." The textarea is labeled "Qualifications,
comments, alternative proposals."

This should allow you to indicate whether or not the proposal is an
improvement upon the current wording (i.e., the wording in the current
Internal Working Draft).  Either way, you may provide a rationale or
other comment, or you can propose alternative wording for the group to
consider.

We hope this will make it easier for us to focus in on places where
there are disagreements that have to be resolved, instead of spending
time on less important issues where there seems to be general agreement.
The results will be compiled and reviewed prior to the Thursday call.
Discussion on the call will then center on areas of substantive
disagreement.

In cases where there is substantial but not universal agreement,
dissenting views will also be brought to the attention of the Working
Group and discussed, in hope of reaching consensus.

***Please complete the surveys no later than  2 hours before the call,
so that we have time to compile the results.  Thanks very much!***
